No winter drumline!!!!

As some of you have heard by now, there is no winter drumline this year. We simply did not have enough people sign up to participate in the activity. For those of you that attended the meeting, you may have noticed that there were not many people there. We really needed about 20 participants and we were at least 5 short of that number and that is if I count people who were not sure if they were going to do join or not.
I made the decision to cancel the drumline this season after additional attempts at recruiting failed. I also tried to come up with some alternatives but nothing was truly viable to maintain the goal of the program.
For those that were excited to have participate and have a great season, I am truly sorry that this has happened. I fully intend on having a winter drumline next year. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me and I will be happy to talk with you.
Thanks,
Chuck

No rehearsal on Wednesday June 20th

We will not have rehearsal on Wednesday June 20th due to so many people being out of town that day. We still have rehearsal on Tuesday the 19th.

Please remember that if you are going to miss a rehearsal you need to let me know either by text, email, or note.

See you Tuesday at 6:00p.

June 5th

This is just to remind everyone that we have rehearsal on Tuesday June 5th from 6:00-8:30. This is just a Pit rehearsal. Please make sure that you are there on time. If you can not attend the rehearsal you need to contact me and let me know. So far I am expecting all of the pit to be in attendance as I have not heard from anyone saying that they cannot make it.

Thanks

June rehearsal schedule

Here is the June drumline rehearsal schedule.

Please remember that these rehearsals are for the entire drumline, both pit and battery. Also, these rehearsals are NOT optional. I understand that some families may have vacations scheduled. If that is the case, I need an email or note to let me know what rehearsals will be missed. Family vacations and school sports are the only excused absences from these rehearsals. Work is NOT excused. If you have a job you need to tell your employer that you need these time off. If you have questions please contact me ASAP. All members are responsible for keeping up with the music and memorization when they miss rehearsal.

These rehearsals are VERY important to the success of the drumline and the band. During these rehearsals we continue to work on warm-ups and technique. We also start to learn other cadences for parades and football games. Then, we start work on the marching band show. It is important that we get this head start on the rest of the band so that we can help to keep the band together in the rehearsals before band camp.

Schedule:
Tues 5th- 6:00p-8:30p
Tues 12th-6:00p-8:30p
Wed 13th- 6:00p-8:30p
Tues 19th-6:00p-8:30p
Wed 20th-6:00p-8:30p
Wed 27th- 6:00p-8:30p
